In this invention, the term "several" means two or more.
[0047] According to a specific embodiment of the thermal management system of this application, see [link to specific embodiment]. Figures 1 to 19 As shown, the thermal management system includes a refrigerant system and a coolant system. The refrigerant system and the coolant system are isolated from each other and not connected. The refrigerant system is circulated with refrigerant, and the coolant system is circulated with coolant. The refrigerant can be R134A, R290, carbon dioxide, or other heat exchange media, and the coolant can be a mixture of ethanol and water or other cooling media.
[0048] See Figure 1 The thermal management system includes a first heat exchanger 2 and a second heat exchanger 4. In this embodiment, both the first heat exchanger 2 and the second heat exchanger 4 are dual-channel heat exchangers. The first heat exchanger 2 includes a first heat exchange section 21 and a second heat exchange section 22 that are isolated from each other. The second heat exchanger 4 includes a third heat exchange section 41 and a fourth heat exchange section 42 that are isolated from each other. The refrigerant system includes a compressor 1, a first heat exchange section 21, a throttling device 3, and a third heat exchange section 41. The coolant system includes a second heat exchange section 22 and a fourth heat exchange section 42. Refrigerant flows through the channels of the first heat exchange section 21 and the third heat exchange section 41, while coolant flows through the second heat exchange section 22 and the fourth heat exchange section 42. In this embodiment, the components of the refrigerant system can be indirectly connected through pipes or valves, or they can be integrated into a single structure.
[0049] In this embodiment, the refrigerant system includes a sixth heat exchanger 8, which comprises a fifth heat exchange section 81 and a sixth heat exchange section 82. The inlet of the fifth heat exchange section 81 is connected to the outlet of the first heat exchange section 21, and the outlet of the fifth heat exchange section 81 is connected to the inlet of the throttling device 3. The inlet of the sixth heat exchange section 82 is connected to the outlet of the third heat exchange section 41, and the outlet of the sixth heat exchange section 82 is connected to the inlet of the compressor 1. By setting the sixth heat exchanger 8, heat exchange between the higher-temperature refrigerant and the lower-temperature refrigerant is achieved, reducing the refrigerant temperature before throttling by the throttling device 3, thereby resulting in a lower refrigerant temperature after throttling and better heat exchange at the second heat exchanger 4. Simultaneously, it can also increase the refrigerant temperature before entering the compressor 1, reducing the probability of liquid refrigerant entering the compressor 1, thus protecting the compressor 1. In some other embodiments, the refrigerant system may not include a sixth heat exchanger 8.
[0050] In this embodiment, the refrigerant system includes a bypass branch Z1. The inlet of the bypass branch Z1 is connected to the outlet of the compressor 1, and the outlet of the bypass branch Z1 is connected to the inlet of the compressor 1. The bypass branch Z1 includes a valve component 100. Through the bypass branch Z1, the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant flowing out of the compressor 1 can be divided into two paths. One path flows sequentially to the first heat exchange section 21, the fifth heat exchange section 81, the throttling device 3, and the third heat exchange section 41. The other path flows through the valve component 100 and then enters the sixth heat exchange section 82 together with the refrigerant flowing out of the third heat exchange section 41. Under some operating conditions, some refrigerant flows through the bypass branch Z1, and the valve component 100 is in a throttling state, which can increase the inlet temperature of the compressor 1, thereby improving the heat exchange effect.
[0051] In this embodiment, the refrigerant system includes a liquid receiver 9, which is connected in series between the outlet of the first heat exchange section 21 and the inlet of the fifth heat exchange section 81. In other possible embodiments, the liquid receiver 9 can be replaced by a gas-liquid separator, which is disposed between the inlet of the compressor 1 and the outlet of the sixth heat exchange section 82. The gas-liquid separator can separate the gaseous and liquid refrigerant, store the liquid refrigerant, reduce the risk of liquid slugging in the compressor, and can also be used to regulate the refrigerant flow rate in the circulation loop.
[0052] In this embodiment, see Figure 1The coolant system includes a first valve 5, a second valve 6, a third valve 7, a first branch L1, a second branch L2, a third branch L3, a fourth branch L4, a fifth branch L5, a sixth branch L6, a seventh branch L7, and a battery branch Z2.

[0056] The coolant system also includes a first branch H1, a second branch H2, a third branch H3, a fourth branch H4, a fifth branch H5, and a sixth branch H6. The outlet of the first branch L1 is connected to the fourth port 54. The outlets of the second branch L2 and the first branch H1 are both connected to the inlet of the first branch L1. The inlet of the first branch H1 is connected to the second port 52. The inlet of the second branch L2 is connected to the second port 62. The outlet of the second branch H2 is connected to the first port 61. The inlet of the second branch H2 is connected to the fifth port 55.

Connection 76: The inlet of the fourth branch L4 is connected to the fifth port 65; the inlet of the fourth branch H4 is connected to the second interface 72; and the outlet of the fourth branch H4 is connected to the fourth port 64.

[0057] Specifically, the first port 51 can be connected to the outlet of the third heat exchanger 103 and the fifth interface 75; the second port 52 can be connected to the inlet of the fourth heat exchange section 42; the third port 53 can be connected to the inlet of the motor heat exchange device 102; the outlet of the motor heat exchange device 102 can be connected to the fourth interface 74; the fourth port 54 can be connected to the outlet of the fourth heat exchange section 42; the fifth port 55 can be connected to the first port 61; the second port 62 can be connected to the inlet of the fourth heat exchanger 104; and the third port 63 and the sixth port 66 can both be connected to the battery heat exchange device 101. The outlet of the battery heat exchanger 101 is connected to the inlet of the second heat exchange section 22 and the inlet of the fourth heat exchange section 42. The fourth port 64 is connected to the second interface 72. The fifth port 65 is connected to the inlet of the fifth heat exchanger 105. The first interface 71 is connected to the outlet of the second heat exchange section 22. The third interface 73 is connected to the inlet of the third heat exchanger 103. The sixth interface 76 and the outlet of the fifth heat exchanger 105 are both connected to the inlet of the second heat exchange section 22. The outlet of the fourth heat exchanger 104 is connected to the inlet of the fourth heat exchange section 42.
[0058] The first pump P1 is connected in series between the outlet of the fourth heat exchange section 42 and the fourth port 54, the second pump P2 is connected in series between the outlet of the second heat exchange section 22 and the first interface 71, and the third port 63 and the sixth port 66 can both be connected to the inlet of the third pump P3.
[0059] One end of battery branch Z2 is connected to the inlet of battery heat exchanger 101, and the other end is connected to the outlet of battery heat exchanger 101. Through battery branch Z2, a portion of the coolant flowing out of battery heat exchanger 101 mixes with another coolant stream and flows back into battery heat exchanger 101. The temperature of the coolant entering battery heat exchanger 101 is regulated by the temperature of the battery itself. In some other embodiments, a third pump P3 may be installed in battery branch Z2 to drive a portion of the coolant flowing out of battery heat exchanger 101 back into battery heat exchanger 101.
[0060] Pumps P1, P2, and P3 power the flow of coolant. Their positions can be adjusted to ensure proper fluid flow. Optionally, all three pumps can be electric water pumps; their types and specifications can be the same or different, depending on the requirements of the thermal management system.
[0061] The battery heat exchanger 101 is used for thermal management of the battery. Optionally, the battery heat exchanger 101 can be an integrated component with the battery as a whole, or it can be a separate component assembled with the battery. The motor heat exchanger 102 is used for thermal management of the motor. Optionally, the motor heat exchanger 102 can be an integrated component with the motor as a whole, or it can be a separate component assembled with the motor.
[0062] The thermal management system provided in this application embodiment can be applied to electric vehicles. The electric vehicle has an air conditioning unit that exchanges heat with the air in the passenger compartment. A fourth heat exchanger 104 and a fifth heat exchanger 105 are disposed within the air conditioning unit. The fourth and fifth heat exchangers 104 and 105 are used for heat exchange with the air in the air conditioning unit to regulate the temperature of the passenger compartment. The fifth heat exchanger 105 is located downstream of the fourth heat exchanger 104 in the airflow. A fan is provided within the air conditioning unit to guide the airflow within it. A third heat exchanger 103 is disposed near the front grille of the vehicle. A fan is provided beside the third heat exchanger 103 to guide the airflow. The third heat exchanger 103 is used for heat exchange with the atmospheric environment, releasing heat into or absorbing heat from the atmospheric environment. The third heat exchanger 103, fourth heat exchanger 104, and fifth heat exchanger 105 are all air-cooled heat exchangers, all used for heat exchange with air. The structure of air-cooled heat exchangers is well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.
[0063] The thermal management system of this embodiment has multiple operating modes, including heating mode, cooling mode, and dehumidification mode. Under all operating conditions, when compressor 1 is turned on, the first heat exchanger 2 acts as a condenser, where the refrigerant releases heat to the coolant. The second heat exchanger 4 acts as an evaporator, where the refrigerant absorbs heat from the coolant. The fourth heat exchanger 104 acts as a cold air core, which can lower the temperature of the air entering the passenger compartment, and the fifth heat exchanger 105 acts as a warm air core, which can raise the temperature of the air entering the passenger compartment.
[0064] The thermal management system of this embodiment is not only applicable to vehicles, but also to other heat exchange systems that require thermal management. For ease of description, the specification of this application uses vehicles as an example.
[0065] The thermal management system in this embodiment is a secondary loop system. When the compressor 1 is turned on and in operation, the refrigerant flow direction of the refrigerant system does not change even if the operating conditions switch. Specifically, when the refrigerant system is in operation, if the valve component 100 is in the closed state, the outlet of the compressor 1, the first heat exchange section 21, the liquid receiver 9, the fifth heat exchange section 81, the throttling device 3, the third heat exchange section 41, the sixth heat exchange section 82, and the inlet of the compressor 1 are connected. If the valve component 100 is in the throttling state, the outlet of the compressor 1, the first heat exchange section 21, the liquid receiver 9, the fifth heat exchange section 81, the throttling device 3, the third heat exchange section 41, the sixth heat exchange section 82, and the inlet of the compressor 1 are connected, as are the outlet of the compressor 1, the valve component 100, the sixth heat exchange section 82, and the inlet of the compressor 1.
[0066] The refrigerant in the first heat exchange section 21 releases heat to the coolant in the second heat exchange section 22, causing the coolant temperature in the circuit containing the second heat exchange section 22 to rise. The refrigerant in the third heat exchange section 41 absorbs heat from the coolant in the fourth heat exchange section 42, causing the coolant temperature in the circuit containing the fourth heat exchange section 42 to decrease. Using a secondary circuit system can reduce the amount of refrigerant charged, resulting in a lower leakage rate and making it more conducive to the integration of the refrigerant system and miniaturization.
[0067] When the ambient temperature is high, the thermal management system is in cooling mode. In cooling mode, valve component 100 is in the closed state. Depending on whether the passenger cabin and battery have cooling requirements, it is divided into mixed cooling mode, battery-only cooling mode and passenger cabin-only cooling mode.
[0068] When both the passenger cabin and the battery require cooling, the thermal management system operates in a hybrid cooling mode. (See also...) Figure 2 When compressor 1 is turned on, the refrigerant system is in operation. In the coolant system, the first valve 5 is in the first state, the second valve 6 is in the third state, and the third valve 7 is in the first state, forming four coolant circuits in the coolant system.
[0069] In the first coolant circuit, the outlet of the second pump P2, the third heat exchanger 103, the motor heat exchanger 102, the second heat exchange section 22, and the inlet of the second pump P2 are connected sequentially. The motor heat exchanger 102 is connected to the third heat exchanger 103 to dissipate heat from the motor. The second heat exchange section 22 is connected to the third heat exchanger 103, releasing most of the heat to the atmosphere. Since the second heat exchange section 22 is not connected to the fifth heat exchanger 105, the coolant does not flow through the fifth heat exchanger 105 and therefore does not release heat to the passenger compartment.
[0070] In the second coolant circuit, the outlet of the first pump P1, the fourth heat exchanger 104, the fourth heat exchange section 42, and the inlet of the first pump P1 are connected sequentially. The coolant, cooled in the fourth heat exchange section 42, flows to the fourth heat exchanger 104, where it exchanges heat with the air in the air conditioning unit to cool the passenger compartment. The coolant, heated after flowing through the fourth heat exchanger 104, flows back to the fourth heat exchange section 42 to be cooled again, and so on in a cycle.
[0071] In the third coolant circuit, the outlet of the first pump P1, the third pump P3, the battery heat exchange device 101, the fourth heat exchange section 42, and the inlet of the first pump P1 are connected in sequence. The coolant cooled in the fourth heat exchange section 42 flows to the battery heat exchange device 101 to achieve battery cooling.
[0072] In the fourth coolant circuit, the outlet of the third pump P3, the battery heat exchange device 101, and the inlet of the third pump P3 are connected in sequence.
[0073] To ensure the cooling effect of the passenger cabin, the outlet coolant temperature of the fourth heat exchanger 42 is relatively low. If a fourth coolant circuit is not provided, the inlet of the battery heat exchanger 101 is directly connected to the outlet of the fourth heat exchanger 42. On the one hand, the excessively low coolant temperature will damage the battery. On the other hand, due to the large size of the battery, the temperature of the coolant flowing out of the battery heat exchanger 101 after heat exchange with the battery is relatively high. This will result in a high inlet coolant temperature for the fourth heat exchanger 42. The heat exchange capacity of the fourth heat exchanger 104 is limited, and it cannot ensure that the outlet coolant temperature of the fourth heat exchanger 42 is low enough, thus affecting the cooling effect of the passenger cabin.
[0074] In this application, the coolant with a higher temperature flowing out of the battery heat exchange device 101 is mixed with the coolant with a lower temperature flowing out of the fourth heat exchange section 42, and then flows into the battery heat exchange device 101, so that the temperature of the coolant flowing into the battery heat exchange device 101 is more suitable, thereby meeting the heat exchange requirements of the passenger compartment while protecting the battery.
[0075] When only the battery requires cooling, the thermal management system operates in battery-only cooling mode. See also... Figure 3The system connection states in the battery-only cooling mode and the hybrid cooling mode are roughly the same. For details on these similarities, please refer to the description of the hybrid cooling mode; they will not be repeated here. The difference lies in that the second valve 6 is in the second state. The coolant system forms the first and third coolant circuits in the hybrid cooling mode described above, achieving battery cooling. At this time, since only the battery needs cooling, the coolant temperature at the outlet of the fourth heat exchange section 42 can be adjusted to a more suitable temperature.
[0076] When only the passenger cabin requires cooling, the thermal management system operates in passenger cabin-only cooling mode. See also Figure 4 The system connection states of the passenger cabin single-cooling mode and the hybrid cooling mode are largely the same; for similarities, please refer to the relevant description of the hybrid cooling mode, which will not be repeated here.

The coolant system forms the first and second coolant circuits of the above-mentioned hybrid cooling mode, which can achieve cooling of the passenger cabin.
[0077] This application uses the third valve 7 and the third channel H3 to isolate the second heat exchange section 22 from the fifth heat exchanger 105, so that no heat is released to the passenger compartment.
[0078] The thermal management system includes battery cooling modes, see [link / reference]. Figure 5 In battery cooling mode, compressor 1 is off. In the coolant system, the first valve 5 is in the third state, the second valve 6 is in the seventh state, and the third valve 7 is in the third state.

[0084] In the second type of coolant circuit, the outlet of the third pump P3, the battery heat exchange device 101, and the inlet of the third pump P3 are connected in sequence.
[0085] When the ambient temperature is moderate, the passenger cabin heating demand is not high, and the battery has no demand, the thermal management system is in motor cooling mode, which includes a first motor cooling mode and a second motor cooling mode.
[0086] The thermal management system operates in the first motor cooling mode, with compressor 1 shut down. In the coolant system, the first valve 5 is in the third state, the second valve 6 is in the fifth state, and the third valve 7 is in the third state. The coolant system forms two coolant circuits.
[0087] In the first type of coolant circuit, the outlet of the first pump P1, the motor heat exchanger 102, the third heat exchanger 103, the fourth heat exchange section 42, and the inlet of the first pump P1 are connected in sequence.

[0088] In the second type of coolant circuit, the inlet of the first pump P1, the fourth heat exchanger 104, the fourth heat exchange section 42, and the outlet of the first pump P1 are connected in sequence.
[0089] The thermal management system operates in the second motor cooling mode. The system connection status of the second motor cooling mode is largely the same as that of the first motor cooling mode; for similarities, please refer to the relevant description of the first motor cooling mode, which will not be repeated here. See also Figure 8 The difference lies in that the third valve 7 is in the fourth state. The coolant system forms two coolant circuits.

[0092] When the ambient temperature and humidity are high, the thermal management system is in cooling and dehumidification mode. In cooling and dehumidification mode, valve component 100 is in the closed state. Depending on whether the battery has a cooling requirement, it is divided into first cooling and dehumidification mode and second cooling and dehumidification mode.
[0093] When the passenger cabin requires cooling and dehumidification, and the battery needs cooling, the thermal management system operates in the first cooling and dehumidification mode.

[0098] In the fifth coolant circuit, the outlet of the third pump P3, the battery heat exchange device 101, and the inlet of the third pump P3 are connected in sequence.
[0099] In this application, since the air conditioning unit is equipped with a damper, the fifth heat exchanger 105 does not exchange heat with the air in the air conditioning unit. The fifth heat exchanger 105 is used as a pipeline. However, when the refrigerant system has sufficient cooling capacity, the damper can be opened so that the coolant heated in the second heat exchange section 22 can flow through the fifth heat exchanger 105 for supplementing the passenger compartment with heat.
[0100] When the passenger cabin requires cooling and dehumidification, the thermal management system operates in the second cooling / dehumidification mode.
